He denied that the community at large were completely satistied with the educational system as it stood. The fact of a bill of the kind being introduced was sufficient to show such was not the case. It was. also a well known (act that a large secoiSß of the community, more especially in Otago, were strongly favorable to the introduction of Bible reading in schools. He had no doubt but that the bill would be defeated, still he believed that it would come on again from time to lime until they dealt with it another way. >*~ Mr Harris moved the adjournment of the debate.
